JSON vs. JavaScript vs. Qlik Replicate vs. TaffyDB Comparison Chart

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format. It is easy for humans to read and write. It is easy for machines to parse and generate. It is based on a subset of the JavaScript Programming Language Standard ECMA-262 3rd Edition - December 1999. JSON is a text format that is completely language independent but uses conventions that are familiar to programmers of the C-family of languages, including C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Perl, Python, and many others. These properties make JSON an ideal data-interchange language. JSON is built on two structures: 1. A collection of name/value pairs. In various languages, this is realized as an object, record, struct, dictionary, hash table, keyed list, or associative array. 2. An ordered list of values. In most languages, this is realized as an array, vector, list, or sequence. These are universal data structures. Virtually all modern programming languages support them in one form or another.

Qlik Replicate is a high-performance data replication tool offering optimized data ingestion from a broad array of data sources and platforms and seamless integration with all major big data analytics platforms. Replicate supports bulk replication as well as real-time incremental replication using CDC (change data capture). Our unique zero-footprint architecture eliminates unnecessary overhead on your mission-critical systems and facilitates zero-downtime data migrations and database upgrades. Database replication enables you to move or consolidate data from a production database to a newer version of the database, another type of computing environment, or an alternative database management system, to migrate data from SQL Server to Oracle, for example. Data replication can be used to offload production data from a database, and load it to operational data stores or data warehouses for reporting or analytics.
